Cecil B. Stowers Elementary School

Oct 25 post, I agree with Oct 26 post. Definitely voice your concerns with the Principal. I too just transfered my kids to this school this year and the transition hasn't been easy on my kids, but the teachers and Principal have been very supportive and communicate all concerns right away. I am very happy with this school (I'm just not happy with my commute, 13 miles each way per day).

I am so sorry that you got a "lemon." As with any school or district, some teachers are better than others. Even if I did not agree with a teacher's methods, my children always learned what was needed. I would recommend voicing your concerns to the Principal. In my experience, he is very quick to listen and take action as needed.

My child currently is a student in one of the primary grades. I am very happy with the school. We transferred in from another school district after much research. I have only heard and read great things about this school. I must admit that we got a lemon. Unfortunately, my child's teacher does not teach by interacting with the students. From one position she teaches the class. Rarely do they answer questions or read together out loud. There are many other concerns but you should know that unfortunately there is one that you don't want your child to have. She is not concerned with the higher standards exemplified by other classrooms.

Stowers is a fantastic school!! My kids have attended since kindergarten and I have to say it is a great school and fun. Dr. Tracy is a wonderful asset and brings a kind but assertive attitude that we needed and the school has prospered and flourished since he started. The teachers are great and kids leave with a happy smile each day I pick mine up. What I have seen also is that parents get involved and there is always a good turnout for the many events. Scholastically, we've had numerous students that scored a PERFECT on the STAR/CST and one of our students won the county Spelling Bee and is moving on to State. Stowers is a very well rounded school and I am more than proud and happy my kids are attending here. Go Snow Leopards!!

I was a student at Stowers and i think the school is great i am currently in 11th grade i was in Stowers frm k-6. I had Mrs. Graham in (K) and Mrs. Kamiyama. They are both great teachers but the teacher I liked the most was Mrs. Davis she is the best teacher ever! She taught performing arts and other subjects i was in Choir for about 2 or 3 years for mrs.davis it was great. I hope Mrs.Davis is still at Stowers i would like to go visit her. Does anyone know if she is still at stowers?

My son entered Kindergarten this year at Stowers. It is a great school, challenging academically and organize. I love all the office staff, they are very efficient, they are nice, and the communication with students and parents is excellent. I specially would recognize the work that Sally Martinez, one of the secretaries, does. The principal Ms. Blagden is also outstanding. You will see her around the campus working and helping and she is very accessible to parents. Teachers work hard with you and communicate constantly to make your child succeed (at least Mr. Kirby, my son s teacher, but I heard good comments from other teachers aswell). Parents are welcome at the school to volunteer or visit. Finally the PTA works very hard to provide the kids with all they need for a successful academic year, from computers and school supplies to educational fieldtrips and fun events for the kids.

As a whole the teaching staff is the greatest hands down! This has been a tough transition year into a Magnet status school and with all the changes they have had to endure audits,seminars,endless meetings and training- they have been truly amazing! Much can be said for the awesome Magnet coordinator, Mrs.Garcia. I believe without her they would not have made as smooth a transition as they have. She should be the Principal! Things are looking up for Stowers, thanks to the great staff and its dedicated volunteers.
